The world premiere of David Epstein's Surface to Air, directed by Tony Award-winner James Naughton (City of Angels, Chicago, "Ally McBeal"), runs July 11 - August 5, 2007 at Symphony Space (Broadway at 95th Street).
The play stars Tony Award-nominee Lois Smith (Buried Child, The Grapes of Wrath), Tony-winner Cady Huffman (The Producers, All About Us), Bruce Altman (films such as Regarding Henry, Glengarry Glen Ross, more than 50 plays), Larry Bryggman (King Lear, Tony nominations for Proof and Picnic, Festen, Twelve Angry Men), James Colby (A Long Day's Journey Into Night and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at Hartford Stage), Marisa Echeverria (Jersey Boys at La Jolla Playhouse, "Law & Order," "Rescue Me") and Mark J. Sullivan (Helen Hayes Award-nominee for After Ashley) in "a story of a family's homecoming torn apart by unresolved passions." A July 18 opening is planned. Surface to Air is the second in Symphony Space's annual Summer Stock on Broadway series.
Surface to Air is "the story of a family forced to confront long-repressed issues and current realities when The Remains of their son, a Vietnam veteran, are returned to them 30 years after his plane was shot down over Vietnam," according to press notes.For more information, contact (212) 864-1414 or info@symphonyspace.org.
